Increasing frequency stability of HF signals in the transmitting device of the localiser based on statistical estimation of phases

The article based on the method of statistical frequency stabilization deals with the issues of increasing frequency stability and synchronization of the forming HF signals in a transmitting device of a localizer using a multichannel variant of construction. It was demonstrated that the available digital unit of frequency and phase correction allows easy application of the proposed method. Two main features of the localizer operation affecting frequency stability and phase synchronization of HF signals are noted. The first factor is determined by deviation of the present -HF signal frequency (on the measurement interval) from the average ⁽ⁱ⁾ frequency value in n-channel. The second one is related to average frequency variation of each of the forming HF signals and its deviation within the ⁽ⁱ⁾ value from the nominal value during localizer operation. On the basis of HF signals description in channels of the transmitting device of a localizer ratios are obtained determining optimal values in terms of the method of least square method as ⁽ⁱ⁾ deviations of the present frequency values from the average value as well as variations of average frequency values during localizer operation. The article considers the most significant, from an applicatory point of view, case of assessment covering only deviations of the present HF signals frequency values from the average value on the measurement interval. It is shown that application of the method of statistical frequency stabilization allows the transmitting device of a localizer including N channels of HF signals formation to increase frequency stability and HF signals phase synchronization times. That enables to improve accuracy of forming integrated and difference directivity diagrams and setting heading in the runway direction as well. Apart from that, on the basis of the received values of frequency parameters estimation and relative instability of the forming HF signals a decision can be made about the condition of the controlled parameter by the criterion STANDARD-DETERIORATION-ACCIDENT.
